Appearances in video games

Donkey Kong Country

Slippas debut in Donkey Kong Country; they first appear in the cavern level Reptile Rumble. They slither on the ground and attempt to attack DK or Diddy by slithering into them. The Kongs can defeat them by jumping on them or by rolling/cartwheeling into them. Slippas make a hissing noise upon being defeated. Some of the game's Oil Barrels continuously release them, including Dumb Drum, the fifth boss of the game; it releases two Slippas after the Kongs defeat two Kritters, the first two enemies it releases in the boss fight.

Slippa has an unused death sequence, as revealed in the game's files. Cranky also calls it Hister in one of his unused speeches.
